O Ribeiro – located around the middle course of the river Miño, to the west of the province of Ourense and bordering on that of Pontevedra – offers visitors a varied repertory of cultural, scenic and gastronomic attractions which make this area one of the most interesting in inland Galicia.
Its most important town is Ribadavia, well connected by motorway and train with Ourense and Vigo, from which it is 25 and 65 km away, respectively.
